Michael Barresi’s Developmental Documentaries

Watch short documentary movies focused on topics in developmental biology. These movies are created by Smith College students in Dr. Barresi’s BIO323 Topics in Developmental Biology course. Currently most of these documentaries are focused on aspects of Stem Cell Biology as well as the convergence of the environment with developmental biology. While made by undergraduate students, all movies are professionally produced and feature prominent scientists, experts and stakeholders surrounding these topics. These movies strive to be unbiased and educational representations of the field at the time of their production, and are accessible and educational to both the lay and scientific audience.
